This recall involves approximately 25,300 CableMod 12VHPWR Angled Adapters, models V1.0 and V1.1, used to connect power to graphics processing units (GPUs). The adapters were sold in various colors and both 90-degree and 180-degree angles between September 2022 and November 2023. CableMod is recalling these products because the male connector can become loose, overheat, and melt into the graphics card, creating fire and burn risks. There have been 272 reports of the adapters melting, causing at least $74,500 in property damage, though no injuries have been reported.
The male connector on the adapter can loosen during use, causing it to overheat and melt into the expensive graphics processing unit. This failure mechanism poses a significant risk of fire and potential burn injuries to users.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled angled adapters and contact CableMod for instructions on how to safely remove their adapter from the GPU and for a full refund, including cost of shipping, or a $60 store credit for non-customized products, with free standard shipping. Consumers will be asked to destroy the adapter and upload a photo of the destroyed product to https://cablemod.com/adapterrecall/. The instructions on how to safely remove the adapter are also located on that site. Once destroyed, consumers should discard the adapter in accordance with local laws.
